Our daughter Faith visited on Sunday. When she texted to let me know she was on her way,I asked her if she wanted to walk with me and Maddie before leaving for our hike. She loves Maddie and agreed.

I mentioned last week that our daughter Faith and I had toured the Mark Twain House in nearby Hartford, CT. I think I said something about an event, but I know I didn’t explain what that event was.
